In general, Idaho has followed the lead of the federal government, although an executive order has stated a renewable energy goal and established an entity to oversee the development of a renewable energy portfolio.
· Administration and enforcement. Idaho Office of Energy Resources oversees the development of renewable energy resources in the state.

- Biodiesel;
- Biomass;
- Ethanol;
